Junyi Liu was working at a Comox gas station when a woman drove in and struck a pump with her car.

A Comox man has been recognized with North America’s highest civilian honour for heroism for pulling a woman from a burning car at a gas station last year.

Liu immediately turned off the electrical breakers to the pumps, but about three litres of gas already in the fuel pump caught fire. When he couldn’t reach her, he ran around to the driver’s side as the woman started to open her door.
